West Elm Inspiration
{Follow my blog with Bloglovin} Well, first of all, I must say that I had no idea how fun Monday’s post would be. Honest. It was really rather a spur of the moment thing. Kind of an “oh-this-might-be-fun” idea. I’m so shocked & pleased I fooled so many of you! {teehee} Thanks for the extremely kind comments…

Split Second Cookies
I copied this recipe from my dear Grandma’s recipe box when I was a teenager. This recipe reminds me of precious times with my Grandma. But it’s also just downright tasty. Take a buttery shortbread cookie and fill it with your favorite jam or jelly. Delish. I don’t care for the storebought cookies…

Happy Friday! Here are a few of my favorite pins in honor of Easter next week. Most of them are food-centered. {We already discussed this issue last week.} I’m planning to try out a few of these this week. I’m looking forward to making new memories with Anna Grace. She gets so excited about things…

Is Facebook Ruining Your Friendships?
Facebook is ruining your friendships. Or, at least, it could be. You say, “What? I have more friends now than I’ve ever had before!” Consider this: how many of them are truly your friends? Of course, we all have exceptions to the facebook friends thing. I would guess most of you have at least 1…

Love Does :: a book review
I recently finished reading Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World by Bob Goff. Here’s a pic of the copy I borrowed from the library: Love Does is an extremely easy read.

Top Pinterest Recipes
Some people knock others on Pinterest for pinning food. Me? I embrace it. Who cares that almost 25% of my pins are food-related?

My Affection for Teal
I’ve fallen in like with teal over the past…oh, maybe 5 years? It started appearing in my home first, then in clothing and accessories. I have yet to buy teal shoes, but this picture from Mandy has me on the lookout. As I was perusing pinterest, I realized how much of this glorious teal is…
